Practices for Personal and Center Success

Date of Advice:

A student asked Rinpoche about practices for success. Rinpoche offered this advice. 

  • Celestial Mansion Extremely Secret Sublime Success mantra: Recite this fifty times, to help with success for the center and also to help with your own success.
  • Praises to the Twenty-one Taras: Ask the Kopan nuns to recite this prayer 100,000 times. It’s good to email the nunnery to make sure you can afford it. If it is hard, you could do it with a few people to make it cheaper.
  • Gyetongpa (Prajnaparamita in 8,000 Verses) and Tashi Tsegpa (Noble Stack of Auspiciousness): To be done five times in one of the monasteries in South India.

[Find links to these practices in the FPMT Catalogue.]

So this is my advice. Please take care of your life with bodhicitta and live with lamrim, studying bodhicitta. It’s important to live your life as much as possible with bodhicitta. That is so positive for you and beneficial for all sentient beings; it’s best for you and all sentient beings. Thank you.

With much love and prayers ...
